Ms Lisa begs first place at Geosphere, an intercollegiate students presentation organized by Geological Society of Goa




I participated for a competition organised by the geological society of Goa at a student's conference called Geosphere on the 26 of February 2020. I wasn't initially supposed to participate but later was encouraged by ma'am Swati as it would be a good experience. I had to present a topic for 5 minutes following which there was a 2 minute slot for questions. The topic I chose was Climate Change as it is a major issue in our world today that cannot be addressed enough. I spoke about the theories on how climate change is said to occur and what made the scientists working on it come to these conclusions. I concluded my presentation addressing how humans have severely impacted the process of climate change. I secured the first place for my presentation and received a trophy, certificates and a cash prize from the GSG. The  event was extremely well organised and had very highly qualified judges for the competition. The event also consisted of lectures given by various people specialised in the various fields in Geology. Overall it was a great experience and it provided a good platform for me to express my views on climate change.
